More quotes by Mickey Rourke
I couldn't direct traffic. It's hard enough just acting.
Mickey Rourke
A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.
Mickey Rourke
Julian Schnabel painted a picture that he dedicated to my character in Rumble Fish. It was called The Motorcycle Boy. I remember when he brought it over to me at the Mayflower Hotel [in New York] years ago. This is when you and I knew each other.
Mickey Rourke
[The tension] between the Christians and Muslims goes back to the Crusades, doesn't it? It's too easy to blame everything on one guy. These are unpredictable, dangerous times, and I don't think that anyone really knows quite what to do.
Mickey Rourke
People ask me about that all the time. They say, Did you ever think of directing? And I say, It's completely out of the question.
Mickey Rourke
I had gotten injured during the boxing, and I was supposed to take several months off because I'd had a couple of concussions, and so I sort of just left the boxing and got into the acting by accident.
Mickey Rourke
I don't care what Tom Cruise says about therapy.
Mickey Rourke
I trained like an animal, but the thing is focus and concentration. When the bell rings it's like when the little red light goes on over the camera. And I can usually nail my lines on the first or second take because I'm right there.
Mickey Rourke
I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.
Mickey Rourke
I did think for many, many years that because of my ability I could beat the system. And I was wrong.
Mickey Rourke
Wrestlers are all pretty busted-up by the ends of their careers.
Mickey Rourke
It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.
Mickey Rourke
I think the first year and a half that I was in New York I was having trouble just living somewhere. Back in them days the city was a lot different than it is now.
Mickey Rourke
I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.
Mickey Rourke
A lot of the stuff I am now seeing is edgy, raw kinda material.
Mickey Rourke
All I am hoping for is to be able to work-I think my best work is still ahead of me-I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.
Mickey Rourke
My dogs are more important than my family.
Mickey Rourke
Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.
Mickey Rourke
I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.
Mickey Rourke
Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.
